Ubisoft Hints at Major Switch 2 Support

Ubisoft's Ambitious Switch 2 Lineup: Leaks Suggest a Flood of Titles

Recent leaks and rumors point to a significant Ubisoft presence on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. While Nintendo remains tight-lipped about the console's official release, speculation suggests a launch window sometime soon. Given Ubisoft's long history of supporting Nintendo platforms – including timed exclusives and collaborative projects – a strong showing on the Switch 2 seems highly probable.

According to industry insider Nate the Hate, Ubisoft is planning a substantial Switch 2 portfolio. A recent video claims Assassin's Creed Mirage is slated for the console's launch window (meaning a release by year's end). Assassin's Creed Shadows is also rumored, though not for the initial launch. Further titles expected include Rainbow Six Siege, The Division, and potentially a compilation of the Mario + Rabbids games (Kingdom Battle and Sparks of Hope). Nate the Hate anticipates "more than half a dozen" Ubisoft titles on the Switch 2, largely consisting of ports.

Potential Ubisoft Switch 2 Games:

• Assassin's Creed Mirage
• Assassin's Creed Shadows
• Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
• Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
• Rainbow Six Siege
• The Division (Series)

This isn't the first time such rumors have surfaced. A previous leak from last year suggested multiple Assassin's Creed titles – including Mirage, Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins – were in the works for the Switch 2.

It's important to note the Switch 2's rumored backward compatibility, granting immediate access to a vast library of Ubisoft games, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. However, if these rumors prove accurate, the Switch 2 could become a prime destination for Assassin's Creed fans seeking portable adventures.

Given Ubisoft's robust support for the Wii U and the Switch 2's anticipated success, a significant publisher commitment seems entirely plausible. The potential payoff for developers makes it a strategic move for many companies to prioritize the new console.
